I’d argue that too many global fixtures in conftest have a high risk of becoming a “Mystery Guests” or too general fixtures. For a test reader it’s impossible to know the semantics of “institution_10”.
I believe this to be rooted in DRY obsession leading to coupling of tests: “We need a second institution in two modules? Let’s lift it up to global!”
I often scroll to the alternatives section first thing to see whether at least a few alternatives were honestly evaluated. Too often I just find some bullet points with abstract URLs (without any summary for the reader) and a statement that they would not be as great as the proposed solution - or no section at all.
It becomes impossible to provide constructive feedback at that point. It leaves me with the dreaded “Have you considered Alternative X, Y, Z?” or a passive-aggressive “Could you do an unbiased research of alternatives against the requirements?”
Even though the alternatives section tends to be towards the end of the document it doesn’t mean that it should be filled out at the end.
On the other hand, the infamous "BILD" tabloid started using that prefix brand again in 2002, with the Volks-PC and has been marketing 200 products with that prefix since and other companies/projects/products followed (like Volks.Fahrrad - which had to rename because of the product proximity to Volkswagen).
See the other comments on that people definitely go above posted speed limits, but limits are also not necessarily higher.
Cities are 50kph (30mph) with residential areas often at 30kph (20mph), outside of cities the limits are 80-100kph (50-60mph). You get a lot of 100-120kph (60-75mph) sections on the Autobahn where the otherwise _recommended_ speed is 130kph (80mph) which is when BMWs will be overtaking you at twice that speed on the left lane.
> I remember a Dutch engineer telling me that when they increased the speed limits years ago the average speed sunk and it was hypothesized that it was (IIRC) because as the limits became more reasonable more people decided to just follow them.
I'd assume they meant "rate of speeding violations went down" versus "average speed sunk". The problem with measuring the effect of speed limit changes is that so many things change over the timeframe of the measurement - better vehicle safety, change in traffic rate or overall transportation preference (increase of cyclist in the Netherlands)... studies on this topic are manifold and they all seem to come to rather different conclusions.
